ADT Glass Break Sensor

The Glass Break Sensor is a wireless glass break sensor that detects the sound frequency of breaking glass. It identifies the unique audio pattern of a window or glass door being shattered and communicates with the ADT Base, which notifies you via the ADT+ app to a potential intrusion. Ideal for rooms with large windows, sliding glass doors, or multiple window panes. Easy to install and fully wireless, the Glass Break Sensor helps enhance your smart home security system.

Key features include:

• Advanced sound detection: Uses machine learning algorithms to recognize the distinct sound of breaking glass, helping to minimize false alarms.
• Wide coverage area: Detects glass breaking within a 25-foot radius, ideal for rooms with multiple windows or sliding glass doors.
• Wireless and battery-powered: Discreet and easy to install with no wiring needed, offering flexible placement and long-lasting battery life.
• Instant alarm triggering: Sends immediate alerts to your smartphone when glass breakage is detected, helping you respond quickly.
• Smart home integration: Works seamlessly with other devices of the smart home security system.
• Tamper-resistance: Built-in tamper alerts notify you if the sensor is removed or tampered with.

The Glass Break Sensor is easy to install thanks to its wireless, battery-powered design. Simply choose a location on a wall or ceiling within 25 feet of the windows or glass doors you want to monitor, ensuring there’s a clear line of sight. Clean the surface to help the adhesive stick properly, then mount the sensor using the included adhesive strips or screws. No wiring or tools are required, making installation quick and hassle-free.

For optimal coverage, place Glass Break Sensors in rooms with large or multiple glass windows, sliding glass doors, or glass panels, especially on the ground floor. Mount the sensor on a wall or ceiling within 20 to 25 feet of the glass, ensuring it has a clear line of sight to the windows or doors it’s monitoring. Ideal locations include living rooms, sunrooms, and basement windows where break-ins are more likely. Avoid placing the sensor behind curtains or furniture that could block sound detection.

The Glass Break Sensor uses machine learning algorithms to recognize the distinct sound of breaking glass, helping to minimize false alarms from similar noises like slamming doors, dropped items, or clinking dishes.

Yes, the Glass Break Sensor integrates seamlessly with your smart home security system devices. Through the ADT+ app, you can connect it with other smart home devices to create custom automation rules. For example, if the sensor detects the sound of breaking glass, you can automatically trigger smart lights to turn on, or send real time alerts to your phone. This integration helps to your home’s security by enabling faster responses and smarter protection.

Glass Break Sensors provide periphery protection that motion detectors and cameras do not. While motion sensors detect movement after someone is already inside or attempting to open a door or window, and cameras provide visual monitoring, glass break sensors detects a break-in attempt the moment a window or glass door is shattered. Early detection helps trigger alarms and alerts before an intruder fully enters your home. Together, these devices are all part of a layered security system.

Yes, you can remotely access and control the Motion Sensor using the ADT+ app on your smartphone or tablet virtually wherever you have an internet connection. Get notified when a sensor is triggered, your system is armed, or battery is low.

The Glass Break Sensor supports smart home automations that helps to enhance your smart security system’s responsiveness and protection. When connected through the ADT+ app, you can create custom rules triggered by glass break detection.
